N. Korea restores facility used to produce weapons-grade plutonium
2009-11-03
[Kyodo: Korea] North Korea has apparently restored its facility used to produce weapons-grade plutonium at its main nuclear complex that had been mothballed under an aid-for-denuclearization deal struck at the six-party talks, Yonhap News Agency reported Monday. ""The reprocessing factory appears to have been restored to its earlier conditions,"" a senior South Korean defense official said, citing satellite photos that also showed a continuous stream of workers in and out of the site in Yongbyon, located 90 kilometers north of Pyongyang.
At this point the only way to be sure is to bounce the rubble.

#3  I would like to REMIND Pres Obama that Officially we're still at WAR with NORK, and there's nothing to prevent burying that reactor with iron bombs, or even sending a single missile with an Inertial device (Huge metal lump) coming from near orbit will make a hole and a bang like a nuke, and cheaper too.
